Outstanding contributions

The Camas-Washougal area is home to many fundraisers that aim to generate money and awareness for any number of worthy causes.

Making a difference

Children in Third-World countries often live lives that most of us couldn’t even imagine.

‘Challenge’ comes to a close

Nearly one year ago, the mayors of Camas and Washougal, along with nearly 500 residents of the local communities, embarked on a weight loss challenge and friendly competition between the two cities.

"Camas and Washougal on a Diet" began with an event at Capt. William Clark Park. Mayors Scott Higgins and Sean Guard stepped up to do what most of us wouldn't dream of -- get weighed in public, and then have those numbers announced ...

Shows of support

Yesterday, an event that took place thousands of miles away, shook this country — deeply.

As of this morning, reports are that three people were killed, including an 8-year-old boy, and more than 175 people were injured when two bombs detonated near the finish line of the popular Boston Marathon.

Happy birthday Camas library!

Ninety years ago, when the Washougal Women’s Club opened the first library in downtown Camas, they may not have known the impact they would be making on future generations of Camasonians.

That first library was housed in Arthur Thayer's drug store, located across the street from the paper mill's offices. The facility loaned out books donated by local residents, and the state's traveling library.

Local treasure re-opens to the community

The Gibbons Creek Wildlife Art Trail, a true treasure in our community, re-opened to the public on Friday, nearly six months after a fire burned 148 acres of the 1,049-acre Steigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Washougal.

Have the CRC discussions somewhere else

“There is no positive thing that could happen from taking a position [on the Columbia River Crossing].”

Thinking about running for political office?

This past week, the first signs popped up indicating that election season isn’t too far away.

Port of Camas-Washougal Commissioner Bill Macrae-Smith, wanting to get an early start, announced that he will be running for re-election. Although many of us are still making the transition to a new year and getting used to the handful of new elected officials who just took office in January, the truth is, the filing period is right around ...

A celebration of Women’s History Month close to home

During Women’s History Month in March, we’re often encouraged to remember the people who have left their imprints on the world on a national scale. The names that often come to mind are that of Rosa Parks, Marie Curie, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Eleanor Roosevelt, Geraldine Ferraro, Gloria Steinem, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Harriet Tubman, Maya Angelou, Amelia Earhart, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. And the list goes on and on.

Coalition could have a lasting impact

There is no greater resource and asset in our community than our children.

As parents, they are our everything. They add a new sense of purpose and meaning to our lives. And as a community, children are the future. The quality of their lives today have a very good chance of impacting how Camas and Washougal will look into the future and beyond.

Local history: Camas and Washougal’s best kept secret

According to the hard-working volunteers at the Two Rivers Heritage Museum, this facility that holds the historical treasures of Camas and Washougal’s past is one of the area’s best kept secrets.

Healthy lives, healthy hearts

For many of us, our health is something we tend to take for granted, until some kind of catastrophic event throws our mortality directly into our faces.

It is in these situations, when life, God, the universe, the powers that be, or whatever higher power we believe in, gives us the wake-up call we may need to make important life changes.

Unfortunately, however, not everyone survives a major health crisis long enough to take the ...

Don’t let Election Day pass by

The week of Jan. 21, 150,798 registered voters in Clark County began receiving their Feb. 12 special election ballots in the mail. As of today, nearly 35,000 have been returned.

School districts around the area, including Camas, Ridgefield, Vancouver, Battle Ground and La Center have submitted levy propositions primarily to fund schools' maintenance and operations and technology programs. Of course, in our community, it's the two levies for the Camas School District ...

Remembering the past; focusing on the future

2012. In the small towns of Camas and Washougal, it was an eventful year filled with ups and downs, exciting special events and unexpected tragedies. These important moments were all documented on the pages of the Camas-Washougal Post-Record newspaper, as they have been since 1908.

Vote 'yes' on Camas school levies

Ask local residents why they moved to Camas or have continued to live in this area for years, and it’s likely that the city’s high quality public school system would be on the list. And, it’s not difficult to see why.
